7. He shall sprinkle the blood seven times on the person who is to be purified from his skin disease, and then he shall pronounce him clean. He shall let the live bird fly away over the open fields.
8. The person shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and have a bath; he will then be ritually clean. He may enter the camp, but he must live outside his tent for seven days.
9. On the seventh day he shall again shave his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and all the rest of the hair on his body; he shall wash his clothes and have a bath, and then he will be ritually clean.
10. On the eighth day he shall bring two male lambs and one female lamb a year old that are without any defects, three kilogrammes of flour mixed with olive oil, and a third of a litre of olive oil.
11. The priest shall take the person and these offerings to the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence.
12. Then the priest shall take one of the male lambs and together with the one-third of a litre of oil he shall offer it as a repayment offering. He shall present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.
13. He shall kill the lamb in the place where the animals for the sin offerings and the burnt offerings are killed. He must do this because the repayment offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest and is very holy.
14. The priest shall take some of the blood of the lamb and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right-hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who is to be declared ritually clean.

16. dip a finger of his right-hand in it, and sprinkle some of it seven times there in the Lord's presence.
17. He shall take some of the oil that is in the palm of his hand and some of the blood of the lamb and put them on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right-hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who is to be declared ritually clean.
18. He shall put the rest of the oil that is in the palm of his hand on the person's head. In this way he shall perform the ritual of purification.
19. Then the priest shall offer the sin offering and perform the ritual of purification. After that, he shall kill the animal for the burnt offering
20. and offer it with the grain offering on the altar. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification, and the person will be ritually clean.
21. If he is poor and cannot afford any more, he shall bring for his purification only one male lamb as his repayment offering, a special gift to the Lord for the priest. He shall bring only one kilogramme of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering and a third of a litre of olive oil.
22. He shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering.
23. On the eighth day of his purification he shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent.
24. The priest shall take the lamb and the olive oil and present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.
